So much to do – so little time

Sorry for the lack of activity here – an EPSRC grant with Riccardo came through, which is big happy news. The downside is that there’s a ton of research work to be done in a very short period of time. We were lucky enough to have Ellery Crane visiting for the last two weeks, and the two of us did some pretty massive hours while he was here. We got a bucket of really good work done was he here; we built several large new systems and got some early results that suggest probably at least a couple of papers.

I’ll try to post at least sporadically in the upcoming weeks, but I suspect things are likely to be light here well into the summer.

TechCrunch endorses Obama and McCain

In a well written and thoughtful endorsement that (not surprisingly) focuses on tech related issues, they’ve gone for Obama and McCain (with a strong preference for Obama between the two).

Obviously technical issues aren’t the only important issues facing the country, and silicon valley tech issues aren’t necessarily always the same as general science issues. Nothing was said about the war in Iraq, for example, and while they wisely include things things like math and science education in their focus issues, there’s no mention of the continuing struggle over the stain of creationism in that education.

Not perfect, but a thoughtful summary of positions on an important set of issues.
